Welcome to my humble little internet space. I am Candace, otherwise sometimes known as Mme. Bookling.I am many things, as we all are. Each human on this planet is a fascinating mix of mystery and simplicity. We are the same; we are completely different. I am on this earth to discover myself, to make someone else's existence better, and to love. I am an introvert who loves being so. On rare occasions, I can cut free and swim in the Puget Sound in my pajamas and channel Pat Benatar on the dance floor. More typically, I tend to gorge on BBC shows, Star Trek, vintage cocktails, long conversations with my good husband, intimate weekend dinners with my friends, feminist literature, and the compulsion to live with intention, authenticity, openness, and generosity of spirit.

If I could fashion the ideal life, it would include spending my days writing and reading. I have many dreams: being a published poet, a prominent professor of literature, the editor-at-large for Vogue, a soulful photographer, an authentic mother, a passionate and inspiring wife, an activist for feminist rights, studier of sciences, and a professional star-gazer.

Life is empty of meaning without the written word, interesting conversation, and lots of eye-liner. I am a campaigner for all things vintage and fine, as well as a wayfarer for self-care and psychological wellness.

I have always been more comfortable in shadow so much of my art has a tone of melancholy. Worry not, the darkness is not scary nor possible to avoid.

Whether or not you know me or are just stumbling onto my webpage, I welcome you with open arms as we all make our way towards becoming ourselves, which is a life-long endeavor...seemingly impossible today, and damn near attainable tomorrow.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

:: Ralph Waldo Emerson ::

If that's not what you're looking for, you can at least stick around for my sarcasm and sailor-mouth - both of which I deliver in amplitude.
